We could smell smoke around midnight and the moon had an orange cast to it as it set. Dust levels around 4K (1.0um) Got instrument blocks for image mode, pinhole array mode, and bare array mode. GFP filled with LN2 at 21:00, 00:00, 03:00 and 0515. ------- FAILURE LOG ------- PROG INST FAILURE MODE TIME (SEDFNVOG) TI/SHU START FINISH DESCRIPTION ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------- FOCUS LOG --------------- Time Instrument Focus Az El Temp Strc Prim Sec Air filt FWHM -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 03:45 GFP 175( 328) 114 84 14.4 13.8 14.2 13.6 13.7 Ha 0.63 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 71 28 9 197 (SSW) 552 clear none 17:00 70 28 7 231 (SW) 715 clear none 18:00 69 25 13 267 (W) 593 clear none 19:00 66 23 16 252 (WSW) 702 clear none 20:00 61 18 8 260 (W) 835 clear none 21:00 59 15 10 260 (W) 925 clear none 22:00 60 15 9 262 (W) 825 clear none 23:00 60 15 10 260 (W) 900 clear none 00:00 59 15 8 264 (W) 2088 clear none 01:00 59 15 3 282 (WNW) 4591 clear none 02:00 59 16 12 265 (W) 3811 clear none 03:00 58 15 12 264 (W) 2037 clear none 04:00 58 15 13 266 (W) 1711 clear none 05:00 57 14 11 272 (W) 1649 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed. The convention used is north=0 degrees, east=90 degrees. The dust count is particles > 1u per 0.1 cubic feet. TELESCOPE STATUS Telescope drives operational.
